The City Hotel, under the management of
Mr. Henry Rahter, has fair share If summer
boarders, and number of regulars. Tie is
popular with the guests, and in aBother year
no doubt will have a house full or ladies and
gentlemen who will come from fthe cities to
enjoy the pure and invigorating air of this
little city, where mosquitoes do not annoy
and malaria does not prevail. In order to
hive the hotel comfortable for the guests next
Winter, Mr. Rahter will endeavor to have it
heated by steam. Steam is not only more
economical, but the heat is more uniform,
and it is about the only means by which so
large house can be kept comfortable. 1t is
a more safe way, too, and the danger OF hre
is reduced to a minimum. The cost of in
lSurance would be less, and TINS saving WOulu
contribute largely to Offset the interest on the
kpst of introducing steam heating fixtures.
